Around your property look for changes such as accumulating water in areas that previously did not have this issue. Trees and fence posts starting to fall or lean over. If you notice things like foundations, trees and posts or anything that is usually underground starting to become exposed, this is also a warning sign. You may also find plants etc. starting to die off in some areas, this could be due to a sinkhole drawing away water. Other big warning signs to look for are cracks that form in the ground in a circular pattern, rapid ground subsidence and sudden openings in the ground.
There are certain signs to look out for in the home also. For example, if you start to notice that doors and windows are not closing properly anymore, this could be a warning sign. Look for cracks in the walls and even floors of the home. If you have well water, is it cloudy or muddy looking? Like we said, if you live in an area that could be prone to sinkholes, these are some of the warning signs. Its good to be aware of what to look out for when it comes to sinkhole because, although they are not very common, they are very dangerous.
